    Abstract:
    Atheroembolic disease is a complication of atheromatous disease and is quite often misunderstood. A precise diagnosis can be made difficult, by the lack of specific tests. The first case, in which we identified this disease, resulted from a bladder biopsy, in the instance of a patient with a suspected carcinoma. The experience, with this initial patient, led us to identification of a further 3 cases, within our previous 2 years case histories. One must consider the possibility of atheroembolic disease during the differential diagnosis of acute renal failure in geriatric patients, given the serious prognosis.
